DRAWS HAVE BEEN UPDATED FOR THE WEEKEND
All match times have been added for the weekend. Additionally, the men's qualifying singles has completed with 8 players to be added to the Main Draw. Unfortunately, a main draw seeded player pulled out due to his success at another event, which gave way to a randomly drawn, "lucky loser" from the Round of 16 of the Qualifying who will be present in the Main Draw.
We hope you join us for some great tennis over the Final 4 days of the tournament!

RAIN, RAIN GO AWAY!- Fri, Sept 13 at 9:45am
As of now, all matches are on as scheduled. Decisions to postpone are rarely made multiple hours in advance, as weather can change quickly in Colorado. Continually check these tournament notes for updates, especially as your match time approaches. The most up-to-date information will be available online and may not be available over the phone. With a tournament this size, the most efficient communication is through these tournament notes. We are trying to avoid high call volume to keep lines available and staff working towards more tournament success.
In times of inclement weather, participants with access to indoor courts may help you get your match in. If you have access to an indoor court for your match time, please email coloradostateopen@gmail.com with more details (division, match time, potential indoor court time, etc.) and we will facilitate from that point.

Draws have all been posted and are official. Any match times not shown for the last round or two of draws will be scheduled for the final weekend (Saturday, September 21 and Sunday, September 22). All avoidance requests were thoroughly examined and accommodated where possible.
Due to the tremendous number of entries and difficulty in altering the tournament schedule with such a large event, match time conflict requests are rarely accommodated. If you still choose to submit a formal request, there is a $5 application fee, whether the request is granted or not. This fee is donated to the “Tennis for Kids” Youth Scholarship Fund. The fee is designed to discourage requests after the draw has been made. Requests must be submitted here
